Planka is a self-hosted Trello-like kanban board built with React and Redux.
In this article, we are going to learn how to install Planka on AlmaLinux 9. So, let’s get started.
Checkout the Plaka Project Here.
Try this wiki on our VPS. Starting at just $5/month with 24x7 In-house customer support.
Pre-requisites
- A system with AlmaLinux 9 installed and running.
root
access to the system.- Docker installed and running, for this, you can refer to one of our guides on installing Docker on AlmaLinux 9.
- Docker-Compose installed and running, for this, you can refer to one of our guides on installing Docker-Compose on AlmaLinux 9.
Once you're all set, we'll proceed with Planka installation and configuration.
Install Planka with Docker
The following instructions use Docker-Compose and Docker service to install Planka using the Planka Docker Image. First, download the docker-compose configuration,
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plankanban/planka/master/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml
Next, edit the docker-compose.yml
file, and change the following variables
BASE_URL
-- Changelocalhost
in theBASE_URL
variable to the actual IP address of your serverSECRET_KEY
-- Change this to a random string/password other thannotsecretkey
user-avatars
-- Set this to a path within your server, where the user-avatars would be storedproject-background-images
-- Set this to a path within your server, where the project-background-images would be storedattachments
-- Set this to a path within your server, where the attachments would be storeddb-data
-- Set this to a path within your server, where the db-data would be stored
For example,
version: '3'
services:
planka:
image: ghcr.io/plankanban/planka:latest
command: >
bash -c
"for i in `seq 1 30`; do
./start.sh &&
s=$$? && break || s=$$?;
echo \"Tried $$i times. Waiting 5 seconds...\";
sleep 5;
done; (exit $$s)"
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- user-avatars:/app/public/user-avatars
- project-background-images:/app/public/project-background-images
- attachments:/app/private/attachments
ports:
- 3000:1337
environment:
- BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000 <<< CHANGE THIS
- TRUST_PROXY=0
- DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres@postgres/planka
- SECRET_KEY=notsecretkey <<< CHANGE THIS
depends_on:
- postgres
postgres:
image: postgres:14-alpine
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- db-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
environment:
- POSTGRES_DB=planka
- POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust
volumes:
user-avatars: <<< CHANGE THIS
project-background-images: <<< CHANGE THIS
attachments: <<< CHANGE THIS
db-data: <<< CHANGE THIS
Next, run the docker-compose command to start the container,
docker-compose up -d
